Antenova to Demo LTE Cat4-certified dev kit at CES 2019

UK. Antenova will be demonstrating its SR4L059-DVK-1 LTE Cat4-certified development kit at CES 2019. Based on the company’s Inversa LTE antennas, the kit reduces development time for Cat4-certified designs.

Two Inversa LTE antennas on the SR4L059-DVK-1 support cellular frequencies of 698-798, 824-960,1710-2170, 2300-2400, and 2500-2690 MHz. The kit is battery-powered, which enables testing in anechoic chambers.

“RF is a very different discipline to electronic design and tends to be less well understood,” says Christ Tomlin, Director of Antenna Applications at Antenova. “This kit will give our customers peace of mind, knowing that the antenna and its circuit are already working on the PCB, so their Cat4 LTE design will be able to pass certification.”

The SR4L059-DVK-1 kit is supplied with circuit and reference designs, and can be used as a standalone development platform or plugged into a PC for testing other devices.
